Default Short Intro (long overdue)

Hey everyone,

Been posting/lurking for some time, but never introduced myself. Recently became a Porsche owner for the first time last December - best decision I have ever made in my life. Completely has transformed my experience with cars and is continuing to introduce me to a community of super passionate people.

I've done a lot of tweaks, and I think I'm finally 102% satisfied with the look (read: poser C2)

Here she is about to get a hand wash - picked her up at 28k miles, and 9 months later we are almost at 40k. Driving the hell out of her and enjoying every moment.

Best,

Phill

Hey sure thing:

1) Stock center muffler replaced with AWE switch path center x-pipe
2) Exhaust tips replaced with AWE gloss black tips coated with Ceramic Pro
3) Paint corrected and coated with Ceramic Pro Strong
4) Brakes replaced with stock C4S brakes
5) Badge delete replaced with gloss black "PORSCHE" logo
6) Springs replaced with Techart Lowering springs
7) Steering wheel swapped for sport design wheel in alcantara
8) Side mufflers replaced with stock S side mufflers.
9) Side and rear windows tinted with ceramic tint
10) Front spoiler lip replaced with SPASM lip
11) Clear side markers

Thats what I can remember off the top of my head... I don't think I missed anything.

Best,

Phill

I gotta hope that is just hyperbole. Surely, SURELY, you've managed to make some better decision in life than this one?

Great looking car! Similar to mine. How do you like the ride with Techart springs?

Don't call me surely

The ride is pretty indistinguishable from the stock ride for me... might just be desensitization of the rear end

Great color and nice stance. Interested in ride quality of the springs as I have been entertaining that mod for a while. I bet it sounds great with the exhaust mods as well.

Thanks all for the good vibes.

Anyone interested in the ride quality, if you're in northern california, I would be more then happy to give you a demo in the car to get a feel for it.
